  • Who Knows Mutt?

    From Farley Flud@ff@linux.rocks to comp.os.linux.advocacy,comp.os.linux.misc on Thu Jan 22 15:54:10 2026

    I need to batch send email messages with binary attachments.
    The recommendations on-line indicate that mutt is the solution.

    I built mutt and configured it, but when I try to send a message
    it reports the error:

    Untrusted server certificate
    Could not send the message.

    How can I configure mutt to accept the certificate?

    Sounds like a result of using your ludicrous system which can't handle security certificates. Get a modern distro.

    The SSL libraries that mutt uses need access to the
    full chain of certificates from your SMTP server all the way up
    to the root certificate (which must be trusted), in order to
    verify your peer's certificate validity.

    See the muttrc(5) man page and check the "certificate_file"
    and "ssl_ca_certificates_file" options in your $HOME/.muttrc
    configuration file.
